Messed up my semester, only have one semester left to redemption. What should i do?

I am 17 y.o, currently going from second year to third year of high school (sorry, I do not quite understand the grading system in US or similar one). First, my last semester went horribly wrong, because of some family and economic things which caused a huge impact in my personal life, causing my grade to drop so low. Usually I get A's and B's with only 2-3 C's in my grade, but this time i only get 3 A's with maybe 5 B's and C fills the rest. This huge drop adds more pressure in my earlier problem, and I really can't move on from that. Maybe some peoples say that grade means nothing, but it's not true for me because I'm looking for college scholarship, and in my country, one of the best way to get scholarship is from your first until last semester's grade.

So, this is the end semester holiday and I'm planning to do some preparation for the next semester (and my redemption too), but I still can't get motivated enough because of the failure feeling. Is there anything I can do?

Also, I study in a state school, and my particular school is not even a good one, like the teacher don't teach properly and only the one with additional tutoring outside school passed that teacher's subject, lack of facility, and the average annual score of national exam is 4.8/10. I came from an A school standard (annual average 8/10) to this school because of the distance from my home because my family thought that it's easier to go to school if it's closer, and that is a huge mistake of my life and it is unchangeable. I even felt like my learning standard dropped, I cant even do my friend's homework from my previous school. Thus, this add more and more pressure every time I wake up to go to school. Can't escape to any other school, because economic factor. I understand that I took a part of this mess, I don't completely blame my situation, but I feel like I can't really keep going. Like no matter if I reach the 1st place in my entire school, some good university scholarship is still going to choose the 1st place in other better school. So, even with this kind of situation, what should I do to efficiently fix my next semester and maybe ace it? Any reply will be appreciated! Thank you.

TL:DR a student messed up his grade so much with some personal problem while feeling hes not on the right school and situation, trying to figure out something to fix the problem and want to do it from current holiday session to the upcoming (last) semester.
